3. SCHEDULE AND GRADES Ms. Gibson, I did my homework. I can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about indentured servants and the contracts they signed. I’ve got just one question for you: why should I care about all of this political contract stuff? Because, Raulie, you signed a contract too! You were born into a society. By remaining a member of this society, you have tacitly agreed to a contract. Add this to your Vocabulary sheet: Social Contract: A voluntary agreement you enter into with other members of the society by which you give up some freedoms in order to enjoy certain protections.

22. Picture of students modeling reflective reading • Vocabulary • Acknowledging when you’re distracted reading and not thinking, reading but multi-thinking, (thinking about something else) affective filter-emotions • Background • Camera • Vary your reading speed-in order to comprehend-too slow=less comprehension don’t be afraid to read faster but don’t forget to slow down for new concepts, ideas, vocab. • Questions clarification or rhetorical • Predictions • Expressing opinions • Epiphanies • Rereading • Summarizing/backtracking while reading • Define relevance to whole or parts of story (make connections)

23. Imagine you need to teach a comparison Federalists (Hamilton) • Favored strong, centralized government • Horrified by bloodiness and excesses of the French Revolution • Created a national bank • Promoted industry and manufacturing Republicans (Jefferson) • Favored limited federal government • Refused to abandon the cause of liberty and stayed sympathetic to France • Supported states’ rights • Emphasized agricultural society

26. You see, cane-wielding Roger Griswold, a Federalist from Connecticut (and future chairman of Ways and Means) attacked Matthew Lyons of Vermont on the House floor. Is this what you were expecting?

27. Remember how our revolution inspired theFrench to have one of their own too? W ell let’s just say theirs got a little out of control.Congress was debating how to respond toFrench impressment ofAmerican ships.

28. Enlightenment Thinking And if God isn’t causing each thing to happen…then he didn’t pick the king! There isn’t any “divine right” ! We just agreed (through a social contact) that the king could rule us. That means…if we don’t like the king…we don’t have to do what he says. We can rebel against unfair laws!

29.   An insulting remark from Griswold drew retaliation from Lyon:  He spit a stream of tobacco juice in Griswold's face! Congress was debating how to respond to French impressment of American ships.  

30. A month later, denied legal redress, a frustrated Griswold walked up behind Lyon and began beating him with a cane.  Lyon grabbed fire tons and flailed back.  The brawl threw the House into an uproar, vividly exposing the emotional pitch of partisan feeling in Congress in the 1790's.

31. The people can be trusted! Each state should be free to make laws that reflect the values of its’ citizens! France is an example of what could happen without strong central government guiding us! Now it’s your turn to make them talk!

42. Use Multiple Intelligences Draw: During a show, click ctrl “p” to write on slides Logical/Spatial: Remind students of multiple perspectives through looking at images together or let students guide themselves through a photographic table of contents Visual: Not only can PowerPoint be a self-teaching unit, but students can also create their own units. (See CD student samples) Kinesthetic: Dance to act out moods or create frozen tableaus in front of images. Auditory: Listen to lyrics and mood of songs to place them historically

43. You can make the simplest classroom rules memorable • Insert humor into basic rules to make them memorable • Combine found images from Google and animation. • Time your presentations to let the reader take in information in a relaxed manner. • Use visual cues to enforce ideas.
